History Characters / WarcraftTheAllianceDarnassus

During the beginning of ''Battle for Azeroth'', Teldrassil was destroyed by the Horde, reduced to ashes and cinders. The rest of the Night Elf settlements on Kalimdor's mainland are conquered by the Horde...at least, until the Alliance [[CuttingOffTheBranches wins them back]] in the Battle for Darkshore.

* ArcherArchetype: Much of their military fits this.

* ArcherArchetype: Considered to be the best archer in Azeroth, (maybe) even surpassing the Windrunner sisters (Sylvanas "I-can-shoot-a-flying-bird-in-the-eye", Alleria and Vereesa).

* WalkingShirtlssScene: Male Night Elves completely eschew shirts for the most part, or wear chest clothes/armors that are pretty revealing. You'll meet a ''lot'' of topless Nelf men on your journeys.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Ed Trotta (English), Rogvold Suhoverko (Russian/''Warcraft III''), Radik Mukhametzyanov (Russian/''World of Warcraft'')

* WalkingShirtlessScene: He only wears a skirt in Silithus flashbacks. [[http://www.wowwiki.com/File:Fandral2.jpg Just take a look.]]

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Throughout ''World of Warcraft'', she has been dressed as a rather generic night elf priestess, wearing a simple gown and barefoot. Averted in late ''Cataclysm'' as she received a new model. Tyrande now wears jewelry, elaborate armor plates, and sandals with greaves.

* ContraltoOfDanger: Maiev's is deeper than most other females in ''Warcraft'', but also has a notable harsh edge to it, almost sounding like the stereotypical "five pack a day" smoker.

* NoodleIncident: How and why they joined the Alliance is still to this day unexplained. From a doyalist perspective, they were very clearly given to the Alliance as a player race in World Of Warcraft since the Horde was given the Forsaken but no official Watsonin explanation has arisen. The Chronicle lore books covering the period between Warcraft III and World of Warcraft devotes a whole section to Sylvanas sending emissaries to both the Alliance and Horde in an attempt to gain membership, but no mention is made of how the Night Elves gained membership into the Alliance when their only contact with them had been with Jaina's splinter group that founded Theramore.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: During ''War Crimes'' Tyrande uses Garroah's trial to attack Orcs and the Horde as a whole. Velen of all people (who has more reason to despise Orcs than anyone) calls her out for proving the point that the Horde exists mainly because of the Alliance's bigotry and inability to forgive. This doesn't stop her from continuing the behavior.

** In ''Reign of Chaos" she immediately attacked the Alliance/Horde union without even trying to assertain why they were there or try to ally herself with them against their common enemy of the Burning Legion. Even when Malfurion agrees she refuses to accept her fault.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Downplayed. Her dismissive and hostile attitude towards the Nightborn during the Suramar rebellion came back to haunt her when the Blood Elves extend a hand of friendship to them in ''Battle for Azeroth''. It was the treatment from Tyrande, along with similar treatment from other Night Elves, compared to Liadrin's unquestionable support and kinship (along with their very similar histories) ends up being a factor in having the Nightborn officially ally with the Horde.

* RageAgainstTheHeavens: Even Tyrande's legendary faith and favor with Elune was shaken by the War of Thorns. [[spoiler:With Teldrasil burned and her people nearly wiped out, Tyrande accuses Elune of standing idle as Sylvanas and the Horde commited that heinous crime and outright ''demands'' that she grant Tyrande the power of the Night Warrior to set things right. At the end of ''Battle for Azeroth'', Tyrande bitterly remarks to Shandris that part of her hunt for Sylvanas is for the answer as to why the Mother Moon abandoned the Night Elves, to Shandris' own horror.]]

* OutOfFocus: Suffered from this for a long time from ''Catalysm'' until ''Battle for Azeroth'' has her joined the Alliance War Campaign.

* {{Gainaxing}}: The female night elves' breasts are noticeably bouncing during certain animations, such as falling. In their idle state, they would sometimes jump a few times in place, causing their breasts to bounce more than usual.

* {{Stripperific}}: Mostly in her artwork, where she doesn't wear as much as you might expect for a priestess. Even in [[http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/wowpedia.org/9/96/Tyrande_HotS.png Heroes of The Storm]], she has AbsoluteCleavage.
